100% would make this recipe for Nick's Kaffir Lime Aioli again.

This tangy, full-flavored aioli draws its unique flavor from the edible leaf of the Kaffir lime tree and goes wonderfully with steak and shrimp. Use sparingly, as its flavor is wonderfully intense.

Nick's Kaffir Lime Aioli Ingredients

1 Lemon small, preferably Meyer1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper ground
5 tablespoons Mayonnaise 1/4 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
4 Kaffir Lime Leaves small, deveined2 cloves Garlic to taste
1/2 teaspoon Salt

Instructions for Nick's Kaffir Lime Aioli

In a standard blender, squeeze 2-3 TSP. of fresh lemon juice. Take the
Kaffir lime leaves and cut the center vein from each leaf; discard veins.
Put the leaves themselves into the blender with the lemon juice. Add the
mayo and blend thoroughly, until no large leaf pieces remain. Add the
remaining ingredients and blend to combine. Adjust salt, garlic, etc.
before removing from blender.

Pass through a fine strainer -- you may need to use a spatula to move the
mixture around, since the leaf pieces will collect at the bottom and
serve.

I made steak, broiled fish, and broccoli for dinner tonight. This aioli went well with all three foods.
